Heroes Until Dawn

Matt

I  stand in the middle of my dorm, eyes closed. I open my eyes and see an exact copy of me standing in front of me. I wave my hand in front of the clone, only to get a blink as a response.

"Is there anything else you can do other than standing still?" I ask the clone. I probably think this thing isn't smart enough to respond.

The clone starts to walk, maybe I'm wrong. The clone then bumps into a wall and stops.

"Never mind..." I say to myself. 

I watch the clone fade into thin air. I drop down onto my bed, I hear my phone vibrate on the desk next  to me. I look over and see Emily on the screen.

Emily: Matt... Where are you? You know it's rude to keep a girl waiting." 

Oh shit...  I have a date with Em. I stand up, grab my jacket and walk out.

EMILY POV

I hear a knock on my dorm door. I open the door to see a panting Matt.

"I'm here... Sorry I'm late. I was working on something." He says panting.

"And what would those things be?"I ask him.

"Things for my classes." he says standing straight.

"And why would you let your classes be more important than our date tonight." I continue to ask hi.

"I'm just rushing that's all" He tells me.

"Alright, I'll let you slide. But try not to forget again alright." I tell him with a smile smile on my face.

"I'll try." He says with a smile of his own.

I link my arm with his and we walk to the local park.

MATT POV

Em and I arrive at the park, at this time of day it's mostly occupied by other couples. Em stops me in front fountain.

"So good to be with you muscle man." She says enthusiastically.

Probably won't be good when you see what I can do, I think to myself. 

"Why the long face?" She asks me a little concerned.

"I had a long day Em... I forgot about our date... I'm kinda stressed out today." I tell her.

"Aw... It's ok. You know, if you want, we can get warm later." She says.

"Really warm?" I ask her calmly.

"Really warm." She reassures me.

I give her a smile. She leans up to peck me on my lips. 

"I know I can be a bitch sometimes, but I just want you to know... I'll love even if you can be somewhat of a weirdo sometimes..." She tells me.

I think about her words. I wonder if she would still feel the same, if she ever found out about my "twin". But the more I think about it, the only time "he" shows up is when I want him to. I guess I don't have to worry much about "him".

I'm proven wrong... I look behind Em and see my "twin" just looking at us. I look back at Em with a somewhat nervous smile.

"You look nervous Matt. Is there anything bothering you?" She asks.

"No, not at all." I say looking behind her, the "twin" is still there. Why the fuck won't he disappear.

Em must have read me, she looks back and sees my "twin"

"What the fuck!" She screams.
